google strongarming mozilla into killing fakespot was an assault on the working class
What is the difference between these two no name brands products, why are there different price points, why do we allow the retailer to sabotage the search function by allowing them to bid to be first in the search results

I cannot stress how difficult it is to parse a coherent thought out of Mozilla’s product direction for the past 5 years
Remember Colorways? Fakespot? Glad I got out before the pivot to AI

Gonna say it again, I *called* this in 2023 when they bought Fakespot, but until this year the responses were basically Firefox fanatics trying to gaslight me. Can't say I don't feel smug about being *right* to be quite honest lmaoooo

It's not *meant* to FakeSpot and tbh doctors are doing that anyways "your blood pressure and heart rate aren't elevated, you must not be in pain".
And the intended scenario pt's wouldn't be masking.
And there's so much racism having something calculate a score might help.
Is the point.

I just remembered to export my Pocket saves last night, and they emailed me today with a download link to a CSV file with every link I saved in it. I'm glad I was able to back everything up, but I'm still mad at Mozilla for killing Pocket (as well as killing Fakespot).
I don't understand why […]

Forgive me for being smug right now, but I saw the writing on the wall two years ago, when Fakespot was acquired.
I want an apology from every Firefox fanboy who whinged at me for recommending Vivaldi. (this was before Zen Browser entered everybody's radars)

FakeSpot by @mozilla.org was great for parsing through fake reviews on Amazon. It shut down. A quick search revealed some alternatives—they are also shut down. Concidence? Doubtful. We have to break up Amazon and #bigTech in general. They are hurting consumers.

The bewildering phenomenon of declining quality

#FakeSpot asked me why I was uninstalling FakeSpot. This was what I said:
I loved using Fakespot, Mozilla killed it probably because they're buddies with Jeff Bezos? I'm not saying @mozilla.org are TechBaron bootlickers, but shutting down FakeSpot is what a TechBaron bootlicker would do.
